In [2], the problem of discovering sequential patterns
over large databases of customer transactions is considered.
The proposed algorithms generate a data sequence for each
customer from the database and search on this set of se-
quences for a frequent sequential pattern. For example, the
algorithms can discover that customers typically rent “Star
Wars,” then “Empire Strikes Back,” and then “Return of the
Jedi.

A semantic class is a collection of items (words or phrases) which have semantically peer or sibling relationship. This paper studies the employment of topic models to automatically construct semantic classes, taking as the source data a collection of raw semantic classes (RASCs), which were extracted by applying predefined patterns to web pages. The primary requirement (and challenge) here is dealing with multi-membership: An item may belong to multiple semantic classes; and we need to discover as many as possible the different semantic classes the item belongs to. ...

This paper describes a computational model of human sentence processing based on the principles and parameters paradigm of current linguistic theory. The syntactic processing model posits four modules, recovering phrase structure, long-distance dependencies, coreference, and thematic structure. These four modules are implemented as recta-interpreters over their relevant components of the grammar, permitting variation in the deductive strategies employed by each module.

The current paper examines the journal entries and class discussions of 12 pre-service
teachers who were enrolled on a writing methods course that I have been teaching as
part of an ESL teacher preparation program for the last 5 years. Students take this
three credit course as an elective toward a master’s program in Instructional Systems
Development with concentration on ESL/Bilingual Education. The program consists
of 36 hours on ESL methodologies, cross-cultural communication, second language
acquisition, assessment and evaluation and instructional systems design.

Though there may be some controversy about the relative importance of financial incentives in
explaining trends in retirement in the U.S., the larger part of the European studies appear to more
conclusive
1
. Most European studies point at strong incentive effects from Social Security and Early
Retirement schemes. This may be due to the strong disincentive effects that characterise most of these
European systems....

Then work backwards on the
overall margins to see what the range will need to be for your product to be competitive
in the end market and pay for all the value chain functions between you and the
consumer. Price margin examples have been provided for handicraft items, but note
that other product lines – food, personal care products, etc. many have different
margins. Shipping and warehouse costs tend to be consistent across products, since
space is space for these functions. The exception is when climate controlled (e.g.

this report showcases smart marketing strategies from clean energy programs and solar
marketers from across the country that address how to overcome the barriers faced by
solar technology markets and serves as a guide for states in pursuing their own market
planning process.
While there has been a major increase in solar photovoltaic (pV) installations in recent
years, the total amount of solar power installed nonetheless represents less than 0.1% of
u.s. energy production.

Alongside cohesion policy, the Connecting Europe Facility5 will be one of the EU's most
obvious contributions to cutting through these obstacles by stimulating infrastructure. 2013
should see the facility up and running and key choices made on targeting. It should also see
project bonds being rolled out to help harness private sector investment.
This will go hand in hand with consolidating regulation.

The total annual amount invested by Business Angels in Germany is estimated to be between EUR
100m and up to EUR 300m.
7
The amounts invested per individual investee company vary
significantly. Often, amounts between EUR 50k and EUR 100k are mentioned as average,
however, during the financial crisis these amounts went down significantly (see also text box 2 on
the Business Angel Panel below).

The aim of this document is to provide guidance for teachers, and
learning support assistants where appropriate, on ways to teach
writing skills in order to help learners to become more effective
writers.
This document is designed to raise awareness of the many individual
skills that a learner has to grasp (including consideration of the
content of their writing, the ideas, arguments or plot) when learning
to write.

Savings banks are a legacy of pre-independence times. In most countries, they predated commercial
banks in laying the groundwork for a modern banking system. In those days, they were established
to encourage the monetisation of local economies by mobilising indigenous savings in the form of
deposits. However, the model of postal savings banks was preferred to that of ordinary savings banks
that have the same philosophy.

Since
such a fund is determined according to a pre-ranking of all fund alphas, a correct inference
about its alpha must take into account the entire cross-section of the fund alphas3.
In this context, they advocate to use a bootstrap procedure, and conclude that they
account for luck in the sense that they correctly compute the p-values of the individual
funds4. This definition of luck is not related to the issue of multiple testing investigated
in this paper.

The presence of the financial safety net can affect the behaviour of bank stock
prices. Explicit provisions such as deposit insurance and the access to liquidity
facilities by the central bank, as well as the perceived availability of state
support in times of distress, can affect market discipline by numbing creditors’
sensitivity to risk-taking by banks.

Ensure that system and network administrators are trained and capable. Security testing must be
performed by capable and trained staff. Often, individuals recruited for this task are already involved in
system administration. While system administration is an increasingly complex task, the numbers of
trained system administrators generally has not kept pace with the increase in computing systems.

Despite the dramatic decline in the number of reported cases of tuberculosis (TB) in New York
City, many New Yorkers remain at high risk for developing active tuberculosis disease, once
infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Groups at especially high risk include contacts of
persons with active tuberculosis, HIV-infected persons, individuals with certain predisposing
medical conditions, and recent immigrants from countries with high rates of TB.

Children are more vulnerable to airborne pollutants and they are often more
susceptible to the health effects of air pollution because their immune
systems and organs are still developing and thus immature.
This Air Pollution Toolkit will attempt to help teachers, educators and
campaigners in helping children increase their understanding of air pollution
and the ways it affects their health, family and community.
Some materials in this toolkit are compiled from various sources and
redesigned to suit the local context in Nepal.

Those responsible for the business perspective take bold views
of the importance of these questions. They believe that the
answers represent the bottom line for the organization and
should strongly influence project decisions.
However, the business view doesn’t mean that all projects must
be slaves to revenue. Instead, it evaluates projects based on
their contributions to the business strategy. For example, a
strategic project might be essential to the organization but never
generate any revenue....

OLTP transaction workloads require quick access and updates to a small set of records. This work is typically performed in
a localized area on disk, with one or a small number of parallel units. Shared-everything architectures, in which processors
share a single large disk and memory, are well suited to OLTP workloads. Shared-disk architectures, such as Oracle RAC,
can also be effective for OLTP because each server can take a subset of the queries and process them independently while
ensuring consistency through the shared-disk subsystem.

Head nodes are used to host applications that may not typically be thought of as part of database management
systems. Head nodes extend the functional capabilities of the DBMS to include sophisticated and specialized
software capabilities that might otherwise be beyond the domain of commodity DBMS features. Examples are Web
application servers and business intelligence solutions.
Head nodes are often implemented using discrete hardware and operating system configurations (for example, an
Intel processor running Windows XP).

The loss in fee income translates into quite significant prospective employment losses in the
Australian higher education sector. On the broad‐based modelling undertaken, between
2010 and 2011 alone, these are in order of between 402 FTE positions under the Sideways
scenario, 982 positions under the Trough scenario and 1,851 under the Perfect Storm where
there is a more dramatic decline in commencements. Over time these losses are sustained if
student numbers do not increase. ...
